The Centre for Education Economics (CfEE) was an independent think tank working to improve policy and practice in education through impartial economic research.

Founded in 2012 as CMRE think tank, the Centre existed to research and disseminate evidence addressed to how to improve the quality and efficiency of education services; achieve optimal outcomes for young people; and maximise the benefits of education to society as a whole.

CfEE researchers monitored global research output in the economics of education, producing monthly and annual research digests to disseminate this literature. Informed by this work, the Centre published in-depth policy studies, which framed and informed shorter reports and comment pieces on day-to-day education policy matters.

Working with research and event partners globally, CfEE staged a variety of events in Westminster and across London to inform and engage the public in the policy debate.

Despite achieving a wide and engaged following, CfEE closed in May 2019, citing a lack of sufficient sponsorship.
